Bench Joiner / Furniture Maker – Premium Bespoke Furniture & Kitchens
Location: East Bergholt, Suffolk | Salary: Competitive, DOE | Pension, free on-site parking
We design and hand-build free-standing and fitted furniture and kitchens for private clients across East Anglia and London. Our work is detail-led, materials-driven, and built to last generations — and we're looking for a bench joiner or furniture maker with 4–7 years' experience to join our workshop team.
What you'll be doing:
- Building high-end bespoke furniture and kitchens from technical drawings, largely workshop-based with occasional on-site fitting
- Working across the full range of workshop tools and machinery
- Solving problems as they arise on the bench, not just following instructions
- Working closely with the rest of the team to hit deadlines and budgets without cutting corners on quality
